It was the early 90's big hair wasn't completely "out" yet. :p

a few years later than tangelo's mom was at uf, one of the events at fsu sigma chi derby day required each sorority to dress up their sweetheart-most often in a costume related to their theme. the year my sorority was crowned derby day champs, 8 of my sisters worked for several weeks constructing a realistic oscar the grouch costume for our sweetheart. except that it was made of orange fake fur, it looked exactly like the real thing, complete with trash can. our poor sweetheart almost got heat stroke, it was so hot during derby field day. it was a little too realistic, because the sigma chi brothers who were on the judges committee did not believe that the girls had made the costume, so we were only awarded 3rd place in that event. if only they could have seen all the remnants of orange fur we were still picking out of the carpets weeks after! good times, good times.

1984 Rose Formal
 

The girl in the maroon dress made all of our dresses. I'm not sure what cracks me up more: The satin material or that we were all wearing long gloves.

I was just going through my scrap book and need to show the current chapters how to authenically do an 80s Party.

OMG...The Hair...The Styles (flash dance and punk)...The plastic jewelry. Eeeek!

For a second I thought we needed more entries before a "winner" was declared. But, no. Benzgirl, you've put all other 80's Greeks to shame with that photo! ;)

I agree! How about some slouchy belts and big, poofy bangs? **1985!**

Love the plastic belts. We sure didn't have a hair shortage in the 80s and no one needed extensions. Just a lot of Mousse!

Farmville, Virginia - 1901
 

I was lucky enough to get a copy of a 1901 yearbook from the State Female Normal School of Farmville, Virginia. Kappa Delta, Tri Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha were in their infancy. Alpha Sigma Alpha would be founded about 6 months later. I looked through the entire yearbook for the future founders of ASA but found none. Keep your eye out for a founder or two of the others.

For those who are familiar with "Chi" which is still very active at Longwood University, it's interesting to note the first members:

Lastly, I think this photo of the "Basket Ball Team" is adorable. About half the team are members of the sororities.

I love the "Yells"

Great pictures Leslie Anne! I love to see the really old yearbooks like that!

That is so cool, Leslie Anne! I would love to see early Barnard College yearbooks.

ZTA picture
 

Thanks Leslie Anne. One note----look at all the hair styles in all the pictures. All basically the same. Only one stands out---front and center in the ZTA picture (and she is a member of the BB Team). I know of two women that have this same hairstyle today! 2009!!

I was curious, and I don't know if anyone could tell me, but the Lucy T.C. Stubbs of Tri Sigma...was the current sorority dorm at Longwood named after her?
